Luisa Doerstel

Luisa is a story weaver, body poet, and movement alchemist. She is infinitely curious about the body, breath, plants, art, magic, language, failure, and how to find the sweetness of being lost in the world.

Holding a degree in Arts & Media and professionally trained in Contemporary Dance, she now works as a Health Coach, Body Worker, and Yoga, Breath, and Movement Teacher. She believes life is a practice of listening and responding—a dialogue with both the body and the world, which serves as an innate language connecting everything in rhythmic symphony.

Through years of study and practice with her teachers, including Stephen Thomas, Simon Borg-Olivier, Meghan Currie, Dages Juvelier-Keates, and Carlos Tao, she has deepened her understanding of what it means to inhabit a body and be influenced by life’s ebbs and flows. Alongside her lifelong journey of self-discovery, this led her to perceive the body, mind, and breath as instruments, maps, and mirrors of her personal biography. Passionately committed to sharing her practice, she aims to help others vibrantly experience life and guide them into embodying themselves as moving weavers, receivers, and dreamers, to navigate time and space.

Her teachings are anatomical yet playful, intuitive and raw, drawing from nature’s wisdom of constant change and cosmic principles of alignment and connection. Her classes integrate aspects of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Katonah Yoga, FluidUs, Somatics, and dance, sprinkled with mythology, geometry, and embodied astrology.
